Table Mentoring: Blessed to Be a Blessing

2017-09-10T14:00:43Z

As a young mom with babies and dishes, laundry piles growing and lots of dreams for what lay beyond, I’ll always remember a woman in my church approaching me with an idea that surprised me. She wanted me to teach and encourage her teen daughter, and she wanted her daughter to grow a heart for serving others, and a mindset of learning from a woman a few steps ahead of her on life’s path. My church friend proposed sending her daughter and a friend to my home one day a week. During that day, the girls would help however I needed; they could change diapers, wash dishes or fold laundry, play with toddlers or whatever I could come up with. In exchange, I’d spend part of that time encouraging these two friends. We could do a formal Bible study or just spend time talking and praying together. Honestly, I was surprised and humbled (really, more like awed and a little terrified). Here was a woman I respected, willing to trust me with offering wisdom to her daughter at a crucial time in her life. I wasn’t long married and much of my day in that season involved helping my husband […]

Cold Brew Popsicles {Cold Brew Power Pops!}

Littlest asked me to buy popsicles this week to share with the neighbor kiddos. It reminded me I need to get moving making yummy ones myself; (summer fruit makes these raspberry avocado pops a great way to add nutritional value to a favorite summer treat!) even if I’m not adding sugar in my diet – currently on my third round of Whole 30 – I am making healthy pops to share. And these will be first on my must-make list when I splurge! These pops are creamy and have a tiny hint of bitterness from the coffee. I recommend saving them for the grown-ups – summer nights are late enough with the kiddos in my house without adding the caffeine kick! I love that these are packed with ingredients that are not just delicious, but beneficial for the body, too. Coconut oil, maca, and cacao nibs all add nutritional boost, and I feel like I’m splurging without guilt when […]
